1/6 I’m Glad I was Late to this Party

Not exactly an equitable comparison.
Optimus was invited to do that by Darklord Dave and even then, with him being newer he received alot of **** for starting his own threads even though he was instructed to when he started out. He has just been accepted and he took the crap being dished out, held his ground, and replied fairly gracefully.

I've seen your handiwork, I have no doubt you could build something nicer than a detolf if you wanted and its obvious you want to be part of this community, and you can take this with a grain of salt, but I think you should not take every criticism so seriously and maybe even try to see what these guys are saying. Not saying you'll agree with one or any of them, but if you try to understand where they're coming from, you may surprise yourself.

I owe you rep if I ever get premium

Not exactly an equitable comparison.......

Again with the value judgments........


How am I supposed to know all of this back story??


For the record I have NOTHING against Detolfs.

HOWEVER, with in a couple days I noticed that about 90% of people that posted pictures of their displays seem to use them and of that 90% some a lot seem to think "he who has the most wins"

Nice:

 

[LipSmack]

They're trolling me because they thin I insulted their Detolfs. Instead of acting adult about the situation and countering my opinion they just decided to trash all my threads.

I stand by my opinion that if you have a Detolf with more then 4-8 figures per shelf because you can't "afford" a different display environment you may want to rethink your priorities.

thats pretty insulting to people ..

you may have nothing against detolfs but it sounds like you think less of the people who can only afford to have 1 or 2...

You are like the king of missing the point.

I have seen people with 4-5 figures per shelf (about $8000 worth) claim they use Detolfs because they are "affordable".

So what..

they are by definition more affordable because buying one is factually cheaper then buying 2...

I stand behind my choice to use grid wall, it is what I and my wife likes. Most of the people that have visited my house like it too. Even people that publically posted that they didn't like it, once they can to my house for a prop party, the presence change their perspective.



You don't have to like it and as long as your opinion isn't a personal attack (much like your comment was) I won't dislike you.

If you have a Dertolf with tons of figures in it just say, "I like it that way."




But most people have justified it with open ended comments like

"it's an affordable option" Translation - I would buy something else if I had more money

or "it's all I have room for" Translation - I would buy something else if I had more room

or "I don't have the skill to build something like what you have" Translation - I would build something else if I had more skill





I have made it clear that due to my wife's medical condition we had to change the lay out of our house and that I miss my old room. But I'm try to put the same effort into my new areas.

Did I have to sell my Studio Scale Models and most of my hand built metal replica Blasters and sabers because I lacked area????

No, I could have crammed them into the corners with everything else and metaphorically created my own 4 shelf Detolf with 26 figures.

BUT I choose to only keep the most precious items and display them in the best way that I liked.

Someday, MANY of you are going to wonder why you have 6 Captain Americas, 5 Jokers and 7 Thors. You might keep them, or you might trim your collection down, that's up to you

BUT if you post a thread asking what people think be prepared for some to not like it.

What are you rambling about in your essay? Honestly, I don't care about anything you said.

The bottom line that is winning you no allies here is that you repeatedly crap on other peoples choices of displays and display cases.

Nice sig

 

[Boba Debt]

I wondered how long it would take before you insulted my service to this country, it's what children like you do.

Now go back down stairs and pretend to be a soldier while you're playing some x-box

 

[FSLAR]

If you don't want people to insult your service, don't be an *** Boba. It's simple as that. I mean really, you are excessively rude and blunt. And you're honestly always trying to make yourself look good at times. To be frank, I have a great-uncle who served and he is nothing like you. You're so uptight and force your way onto people, which you seem to be doing all your life. He is incredibly chill and respectful, and has been like that all his life from what my mom and grandparents tell me. Hell, my friends' veteran relatives are nothing like you either along with some veterans I have met on field trips. You seriously need to relax.

Also your rants are far too long for their own good.

 

[Boba Debt]

You're funny.


When trolls start to bother me I respond in kind.

I also lie to posts pictures like the ones in this post because I know it bothers THEM

I could care less about what a bunch of strangers think about me or how I collect. I joined this forum because a friend said some of the members would like to see my 1/12 scale HOA project.


Before I joined a few of my other friends said this place was full of adolescent millennials and x-geners and that they would drive me crazy.

They were right and wrong


Unfortunately I have found that the larger online communities all seem to have very vocal minorities that love to troll new members, especially when they are different from them.


This place is no exception, it's full of useless members but they don't bother me. I'll do my thing and they'll do theirs.



I wasn't going to stay here when there wasn't much interest in my 1/12 scale HOA but then I found out Side Show had a die cast line and now I'll hang out for a while because there is good information on this forum you just have to filter of the fodder







BTW: I apologize if my replies are too long for your ADHD condition, but if you take your Adderall regularly you might be able to focus and make it through a couple of them.

 

[Boba Debt]

BTW: it say a lot about this place when this thread is getting so many replies.
